Ask a friend or relative if there is a catalogue that they want things from. Maybe it is J. Crew or Facets Multimedia or Toys R US. Get a copy of this catalogue if your friend doesn't have one. Then ask your friend to look through the catalogue and point to everything they really, really want. Not just want, but really, really want. Put a mark next to each of these things. Maybe there will only be two or three. Maybe there will be many. When they are done, carefully cut out each of these things, cut out the objects only, do not include anything surrounding them.Glue them on to a piece of colored paper.Do not write anything on this paper, but scan it and send it to us, along with the name of your friend and their age.

What the Exhibits consisted of:

"Learning To Love You More is not only a website; it's also a series of exhibitions in museums, galleries, schools, senior citizens centers, radio shows and film festivals. The shows were comprised of work that were selected from the website for a particular exhibit, or in some cases all of the reports for a certain assignment were used. Participants were asked to mail their completed assignments to the location of the show. See the menu for a documentation of these exhibits." - Learning to love you more[displays]
